this administration is re writing the rule book so they can torture prisoners and you know it.
why else would Bush sign McCain’s Amendment stating he reserves the right not to obey it?
you right-wingnuts disgust me sometimes. Nay, often.

No they’re not and you know it.

Well, for starters, McCain’s Amendment contained broad language that could be defined just about any way you want to define it.

Great argument genius. Way to convince people that what you say has merit.

What proof do you have of this? Nothing outside of your deranged hatred of the President?
Great.
I guess we’ll know for sure when the new manual comes out, won’t we?

Namecalling is always so persuasive.

Hrm… it’s a long shot on a “conservative” blog, but here goes.
Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and a few other NGOs, have designated June Torture Awareness Month. We’ve created a blogroll you can join if you’re interested. You can find it here. The idea is that everyone is linked to from the blogroll, and in exchange, you discuss torture (as you already do), and link to the Torture Awareness site to help support the NGOs.
There’s a lot of bloggers concerned about human rights abuse in the War on Terror. If we coordinate, we can show our support and help Amnesty and HRW make Torture Awareness Month a success.

Oh, and if any of you do decide to join, please email me specifically mentioning that you’re conservative. I’ve got a few on the blogroll already and I want to do a special post on torture from a true conservative’s perspective after the milbloggers get their go.

elendil: As long as you start with Saddam and his Islamic brothers, segue into the beheading videos and soccer stadium executions, you might have something there. Oh, yes! How ‘bout Abu Ghraib under Saddam? Should give you lots of material. We also have Darfur and Somalia. Good going! Too rich for you? Conservatives care very much about torture; we just focus on the real torturers, that’s all. We don’t use it as an excuse to bash the US.

Robert: I’m pleased to hear that you would never use an anti-torture position merely as an excuse for anti-Americanism. It is always important to ensure that one’s objectives and one’s motives are aligned.
Likewise, I’m sure that you would never use the diversionary tactic “so and so is worse” to excuse yourself of your civic and moral responsibility to keep your democratically elected government accountable for what it does in your name. You would be well aware that this would be just as reprehensible as the former.
We could use an upstanding person like you on our blogroll. Why don’t you join?

You don’t use anything as ‘an excuse to bash the U.S.’
In your warped mind, the U.S. never does a thing wrong..except under Clinton.

I expect the LA Times to report next that the new Army FM “requires” torture and degrading treatement of detainees. POW’s though, now they will get treated IAW the Convention.
Anyhow, detainees ain’t POWs under the Geneva Convention. What part of that don’t the “liverals” understand?
Oh come ON!
